Four different variables all listed on one output

Jennifer Steffes
Hi-
I am looking at data that was entered into SPSS and have a question
about formatting output.  We ask what race each subject and ask them to
circle on of 5 different races.  In SPSS each race has its own variable,
so we have white, AA, Asian, etc.  The values are 0 equals circled and 1
equals not circled.  When I run frequencies, it lists each variable
separately.  Can I get an output in which is would do something like
this?


Race                           Frequency        Percent
Cumulative Percent
White
AA
Asian
Thanks.
Jenny

These are called multiple dichotomies.  Try something like this untested
syntax.

/MULT RESPONSE /Groups = Race 'Race Categories Circled' white to
whatever (1)
 /FREQUENCIES = race./
